The second I opened the email for this Mass Effect Commander Shepard cosplay by Freya Willia, I gasped audibly at how good it was.

Willia says this cosplay took two years to build, including the omni blade. In addition, the Carnifex pistol was painted from a kit by Punished Props and the N7 Rifle was built from a kit by Volpin Props. That’s a lot of amazing craftsmanship in one cosplay!

It may be hard to believe, but thanks to the Internet, “The Dress” is now a cultural touchstone. Many of us will be able to look back on that day and say we knew where we were when we first saw The Dress. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

What is a good thing is that The Dress has already made it’s way onto a design in our Nerd Approved Shirt Store and it’s on sale for $14 for a limited time.

Peter Griffin in The Dress is something that never would have existed without all of us and our need to understand the important mysteries of life.

How do I describe this Firefly purse and make up bag from Crescent City Couture as anything but adorably kawaii? I mean, come ON. If you’re a Browncoat and you have to admit this is pretty gorram shiny. I love Kaylee’s parasol.

Cosplayer Amber Harrison combined time, creativity and prosthetics to create a Dot cosplay that has Reddit completely on the fence at to whether it’s cute or creepy. I’m gonna go with cute. After all, Dot is the cute one.

This Cthulhu-inspired engagement ring by DTEK Designs was a custom design for a client. We’ve featured Drew’s jewelry before (we’re fans) and, while this beautiful creation is currently not available for sale, it’s a good example of the delightfully insane custom designs that are possible.
